New Signature Style for Illustration, Murals, Prints, and Everything Else

I’ve completely revamped my signature style. This has been 6 months of working quietly under the radar and constant refining. This new style combines my love of all things illustration, cubism, and expressionism. Specifically my love for artists like Picasso, Twombly, and Cezanne. All murals, prints, apparel, and beyond will now revolve around this new completely vector and illustrative style. It’s fully scalable and can be utilized in both print and digital media. Below are some selected images. View the full scope of work here: New Signature Style!

Charlotte Black Lives Matter Mural

Truly humbled and honored to be apart of the Black Lives Matter mural in Charlotte. The organizers had 48 hours to put this together and we had less than a day to paint each of our respective letters. Shout out to Sam Guzzie and Dammit Wesley for putting this together. The result and media attention speaks for itself. I had the letter “I” in LIVES. What does it mean?

I knew I had to execute fairly quickly so I wanted something that was going to be as impactful as possible within our time constraints. I was quickly drawn to the idea of using type so I was playing around with the idea BLM and CLT. I liked that the two words shared an "L" so I initially was sketching a bunch of ideas around that. I honestly don't remember what happened next, I was in a zone, but somehow I got the idea to use a "code" and I was off and running. I played around with a few different concepts using this code idea and eventually landed where I am now. I typically have a signature aesthetic and color palette I am known for, but I abandoned that and used black and white to show the coming together of black and white. The piece itself is called "Hidden Figures" because of the hidden code and a play on words from the movie/book. The message itself has nothing to do with the movie, but I used it as an opportunity to create awareness to the book/movie. It’s meant to be difficult and it’s meant for people to come together to create dialogue. There’s no sign language, no Roman numerals, and no math involved. Hint: Each symbol represents a letter. Good luck deciphering ;)

Mural at iSlide HQ

This past Saturday I had the opportunity to create a mural at the iSlide HQ using my signature vintage newspapers. iSlide allows users to upload their own artwork/text and create customs "slides" or flip-flops. Located outside of Boston, MA in an old refinished mill the iSlide HQ features beautiful exposed bricks, hardwood floors, and beams which is a perfect marriage with my vintage style. The wall is 12 ft x 12 ft and I utilized vintage Boston newspapers as well as more recent headlines including papers from when the Celtics and Red Sox won their championships. Here's a little teaser to hold you over before I drop the new video for this. #StayUpStayTuned

Mural coming soon

Excited to announce that I'll be doing an indoor mural utilizing newspaper and cut-paper. The entire process is going to be documented and made into a really rad video. More details on this project coming soon. #StayUpStayTuned
